Currently, convention exclusives can only be "won" in Gencon (and Origin) official tournaments. That being said, they *have* been running some HeroClix Online tournaments with these physical prizes. Supposedly these figures will be available in stores later this year, but there is a distinct possibility they will have different dials.

Posted by: Nate Grey on 7/8/2011 11:28:41 AM

my favourotes are first famine the sculpt is good but i think it should have a better dial for 99 points and i thik it should have blades and wonder woman is just amazing

I agree w/ other post-ers, the AV's of 9, 8, and even 7 are not very impressive, but the passive damage potential of this fig is awesome!

Plague: Poison dealing penetrating damage on the 1st 4 clicks, followed by normal Poison for the rest of his dial makes Pestilence a threat. Combine this with Infect, which deals non-penetrating damage to opposing figures adjacent to the figures which took Poison damage, and this fig has HUGE damage potential!

Damage caused by Plague/Poison at the beginning of your Turn can trigger Infect to cause damage at the end of your Turn. If Pestilence is adjacent to 3 opposing figs who are in a row, adajcent to each other, at the end of your Turn the figs on the end each take 1 additional damage, while the fig in the middle takes 2 damage!

What characters are those, or what xmen comics from, they don't look familiar?

For 99 points you cant get a poison, let alone point with a penetrating damage ratio.

As for the fact that this piece has move and attack and a star ability that increces the damage VALE FOR EACH OPPOSING PIECE when this piece hits an opposing piece with the poison ability.... Hell, that's worth it not to mention that this piece is a flier that can take quite some punishment.Of course from clik dial 2 thur 4 is where this piece is worth its salt being a 6 click piece I'd say most cant complain should one obtain this piece.

Now keeping in mind that this piece can be outwitted, perplexed, mind controled, incpacited,& probability controled.I would not recommend playing this piece heavyily considering its stats do down as it goes down in clikck life... on the plus side however for 99 points it's defense makes it a useful piece in a 300 point to 400 point game.

Lastly because this piece does not have the luxury of being a single rounded dial, possitioning is key to keeping this piece alive...

To say the least I would not mind having this piece to use in for a few games, but there are by far much more manageable strategic pieces out there. None the less this piece has good qualities for being 99 points... That said I dub this piece a poisonus meat shield.

It looks alright. The dial isn't great and with the low attack numbers I dont think it will see much play. I will eventually get one, but its not going to be high on my want list. My other thought is why cant any convention piece be related to either the Thor or Green Lantern movie that comes out this summer.

For 99 points this peice is extremely situational. yea, he has exploit weakness for half of his dial, and move and attack ability as well, but hes not indomitable and his only real asset is all of his clicks (not including his situational speed power, and his GREAT famine trait) i never did quite like incapacitate when you could do so damage with actual attacks, but thats my personal preference.

overall i am looking at his stats of good speed, attack that just keeps on dropping, semi consistent damage values, and good defense values. adding in his starve power which CAN be quite the nuisance, and his famine trait, this character is in my opinion overcosted, with or without the invulnerability.
